Burberry launches capsule in collaboration with the Royal Collection Trust
British luxury fashion house Burberry has released a new capsule collection created in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust, a department of the Royal Household.
Marking the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, the collection honors Burberry’s deep-rooted connection to the outdoors through four new designs of signature outerwear and Scottish-woven cashmere that draws inspiration from her majesty’s iconic wardrobe. In her honor the iconic Burberry House Check has been recreated in a holly green palette inspired by a tartan worn by the Queen, the Old Stewart Tartan.
Details of the Burberry x Royal Collection Trust capsule
– a belted car coat crafted in Castleford, Yorkshire from lightweight 100 percent certified organic cotton gabardine in holly green, organic silk lining, woven with contrasting yarns for an iridescent effect.
– a Scottish-woven cashmere scarf featuring holly green check on its lining
– a silk twill scarf printed with a hand-painted depiction of Balmoral Castle – the Highland home of the Royal Family and hooly green check at the border
– In jewelry, a gold-plated brooch in the shape of a corgi wearing an enamelled check coat, adorned with the Burberry Knight motif on a freshwater pearl.
The collaboration launches ahead of the largest-ever exhibition of Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion, ‘Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style’ opening at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace on 10 April, which will feature Burberry designs worn by the late Queen. It is accompanied by the official centenary publication, ‘Queen Elizabeth II: Fashion and Style’.
The Burberry x Royal Collection Trust capsule is available now at Burberry.com and selected stores worldwide. It is also available through Royal Collection Trust Shops in Edinburgh, London and Windsor and online at RoyalCollectionShop.co.uk.
